In general please do not compile the kernel (or anything else) as root,
but under a normal user account. If you, or some scripts, make a mistake
it will be rather costly! Strictly speaking it is not an error, and will
work, but it is a rather dangerous practice.
Under Debian you normally run the "make-kpkg" script with the help of
the "fakeroot" package:
$ fakeroot make-kpkg ...
Only the final install of the generated .deb package needs you to become
root or use "sudo".
Next i will create my debian-package and will include the new patch.
# make-kpkg kernel_image --revision=jan-1.0 --append_to_version jan-1.0
--added-patches=patch-2.6.18-rc7
Specifying a revision can indeed be very handy. Do note however that the
revision here has to have a dot (.) but normally absolutely _not_ a dash
(-) in it as you unfortunately did. This will most often lead to problems!
No need for the "--added-patches=" here. You seem to have downloaded
linux-2.6.18-rc7.tar.gz which is a complete version by itself, no need
for additional patches here. If you regularly want or have to try
different kernel versions please check http://www.kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
on information on how to use patches, or try "git", http://git.or.cz .
There are Debian packages for git in 'etch' and for 'sarge' on
http://backports.org.
The Error: debian/ruleset/misc/patches.mk:104: *** Could not find patch
for patch-2.6.18-rc7. Stop.
Ok, it could not find the patches. That's because of the superfluous
"--added-patches" in this case.
My patch is under /usr/src/kernel-patches/patch-2.6.18-rc7.
If i run the process without --added-patches, then i become this error:
====== making target configure-indep [new prereqs:
stamp-configure-indep]======
====== making target stamp-configure [new prereqs: configure-arch
configure-indep]======
Problems ecountered with the version number jan-1.0.
The upstream version jan does not contain a digit
This is because of the dash (-) in the version number.
Please re-read the README file and try again.
exit 2
make: *** [sanity_check] Error 2
After any error and indeed after succesfully making your .deb package,
please use the 'clean' target before trying again or building a new
package as the README and the man page for make-kpkg could have told
you! ;-)
$ fakeroot make-kpkg clean
Ich habe read the README and man pages again, but i cannt locate my
mistake.
So please try, optionally as user 'jan' or something and first using
chown -R jan:jan /usr/src/linux. There is also no need to have this
under /usr/src. You can also have the kernel source files somewhere
under your home directory.
$ fakeroot make-kpkg clean
$ make oldconfig
$ fakeroot make-kpkg --revision jan.1 kernel_image
and it will probably just work.
